fined and its symptoms were steady and
regular. / had dumb ague in its worst
form, and it was grinding me down i'll

doses of ~quimine were increased until /

effects of this tremendous stimulation
was to make me nearly wild. 1t broke
my sleep all up. and l often walked the
floor, or staggered about it, all night
long, scarcely able to bear any noises

was extremely irritable. As to food,

From 175 pounds (my proper weight

During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said:
miller. there's no use in my taking
any more money of you, can't do you
any good. l might pour pounds of qIi-
nine down your throat and it wouldn't
help YOU"
On the strength of this I gave up the
use of quininr altogether. and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.

also reply to letters of inquiry.
We submit that the above astonis!l-
ing cure, vouched for as it is 10y repu-
table men, is deserving of a thorough,
and candid investigation by thinking
people. And we further submit that
when druggists turn away customers
bv falsifving the character of a remedy
because they do not happen to have it
on hand, they do 4 great wrong. II
this afflicted man had not diSrcgarded
the druggists advice and sent else
where for the remedy lie would without
doubt have bccn in his grave.
Other letters of n similar character
from prominent individuals, which
stamp Kaskine as a remedy OF I'M
doubted merit, will be sent ON aPplica-
